Our 2027 poster theme is “Fringe for everyBODY”

Fringe is a festival without barriers, where everyone can participate, create, connect and belong.

This year we’re inviting artists to celebrate the people who make Fringe what it is.

Artists stepping onto the stage.

The people, families and friends, sharing a laugh or discovering their new favourite show.

The venues, producers, helping artists bring shows to life.

The communities that support and shape Fringe.

And everyBODY who comes together to create the unique magic of Fringe.
Poster Competition closes Sunday 30 August at 11:59pm ACST.
